Gardaí confident of arrests connected to Cork City petrol bomb attacks 'in the near future'

Residents of Meadow Park Avenue in Ballyvolane, where the most recent firebomb attack took place, are now 'terrorised', Sinn Féin TD for Cork North Central Thomas Gould said

Investigations are ongoing into all the attacks, CCTV has been harvested and door-to-door enquiries have been undertaken.

Gardaí are confident that arrests are imminent in some of the petrol bomb attacks that have terrorised families in their Cork City homes in recent months.

Detective Superintendent Mick Comyns, who leads Cork’s serious crime unit, said gardaí have established motives in all of the firebomb attacks that struck family homes in recent months across Cork City.
